Default Aquilaeians - and shield-skipping weapons (Master Belisarious, thx!)
The AI of these guys is wonderful in combat!!

What a neat hedgehog! Reminds me of Royal Marines forming square in the Hornblower and Sharpe stories - though the Aq's do not use a square.

I had no idea that engine killers were shield skipping weapons!

These guys would kill the engines of a ship and, if they did not destroy the ship in that round, they'd engage it again and now .... no shields! I had not placed a supply unit on each one! No engines - no supplies - no shields - no defense!!!

Are any of the other specialty weapons shield skippers like these? (jim off to investigate! ;-) )

Anyway, nicely done Master Belisarius! Nicely done!
